Professor Evelyn Malavé was elected the Chair-Elect of the Criminal Procedure Section of AALS. She will serve one year as Chair-Elect and then, per the by-laws, become the Chair the following year. The Criminal Procedure Section is relatively new at AALS and, in its first few years, it has organized an annual Junior Scholars Conference as well as other works-in-progress workshops throughout the year and an engaging line-up of panels at the AALS Annual Meeting.

Professor Malavé looks forward to continuing to build the section and, in particular, to growing spaces of support for junior scholars.
